There were three things that the entertainment industry needed the most: backing, connections, and money.
The Gan Nan Club was one of the gathering places of the entertainment industry. There were often a lot of first and second-tier artists, directors, and agents gathered here.
Many small celebrities felt honored to be able to enter this place because they might be taken in by a director or manager and become famous.
For example, Wang Toutiao had been spotted by a certain manager here, and he had skyrocketed overnight. He had even become a mentor for The Voice of China.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Xu Sansheng held Yang Mi's hand and walked into the front hall, which became the focus of attention.
There were many celebrities in the entertainment industry in the room. When the director and the others saw that it was Yang Mi and a newcomer they did not know, they were all surprised and scrutinized the two of them.
Xu Sansheng's expression was calm. He squinted his eyes and looked back. His memories kept rolling in his mind. Before long, he had already recognized some of the more famous celebrities from another time and space.
Yang Mi, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, did not care about the gazes of the people. She only tightened her grip on his palm and nodded at the familiar people. After greeting them, she was led to a small private room by the waiter.
Phew...
As soon as he sat down, Xu Sansheng heaved a sigh of relief and pretended to tease him."Oh my god, I was so scared. I thought that person was going to eat me!”
Yang Mi casually ordered a bottle of red wine. After the waiter left, she chuckled and said,"Hehe, why? Are you scared now?”
"Tsk, you underestimate me too much. This bro is someone who has seen big scenes. How can I admit defeat in front of those people…"
"Alright, alright, alright... You're amazing, alright!"
Yang Mi looked at the proud Xu Sansheng in amusement and asked curiously,""By the way, you said you had something to discuss with me last night. What is it?”
"Yes, it's about the album.”
Xu Sansheng smiled."You know that I'm still a newcomer. I don't want to have anything to do with the big companies behind Teacher He and Teacher Huang, so…"
"So, you want to work with my studio?”
"Yes…"
Hearing this, Yang Mi took a sip of the red wine that the waiter brought in. After a moment of silence, she said,"Sure, I happen to know a music producer. However, if we want to split the profits, the studio will take 70%.”
"70%? Sister, does your father know that you have such a big appetite?”
Xu Sansheng opened up five fingers and said,""At most 50%, or else I'll die here for you to see.”
The cost of an album from production to completion was around 5-7 dollars, and the market price in this world was around 40-50 dollars.
After deducting the recording fee, MV shooting, master tape post-processing, publicity fees, advertising and marketing fees, it would be about 50- 60% of the album's original price. In other words, an album could earn about 15-25 yuan.
Of course, this ultimately depended on the sales volume. If the album's songs were good and the sales volume was good, then a net profit of tens of millions was a small matter.
For example, superstars such as Liu Dehua and Zhang Xueyou had millions of sales for their albums. The profits from them made many entertainment companies scramble for them.
Yang Mi looked at Xu Sansheng with her big, watery eyes and said,"Little brother…Have you forgotten how many companies are drooling over your songs? Of course, if you can come to my studio, forget about 50 - 50, I'll even accept a 20 - 80 split. How about it?”
"Uh, what a torturous demon…"
Feeling Yang Mi on his arm, Xu Sansheng shook his head with a bitter smile. He naturally knew Yang Mi's difficulties.
Who asked him to amaze the world the moment he debuted? He plagiarized so many songs that didn't exist in this world, and it was even a classic title song.
Many companies knew the value of these songs, so they urgently took the initiative to contact him. Some companies even threatened to ban him after being rejected by Xu Sansheng!
When the album was released, Yang Mi's studio would have to endure the pressure and obstruction of those entertainment companies.
After thinking for a while, Xu Sansheng said,""Sister Mi, don't joke around. At most, we'll split it 40 - 60. At most, I'll write two hit songs for your studio.”
"Deal…Sister liked this straightforward look of her brother!”
Yang Mi was so happy that she gave him a kiss on the cheek. Her eyes narrowed like a little fox that had just gotten a bargain.
Xu Sansheng, who had been kissed, felt the fragrance of his lips on his face. He pondered for a moment and said,"Since we've finished our business, let's talk about another matter!”
"Oh... What is it?"
"I'm with Reba.”
Ugh!
Yang Mi, who was originally full of smiles, suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was stunned on the spot and looked at him in disbelief.
After a while, Yang Mi came back to her senses and forced a smile on her face."What? When did this happen?"
"Do you still remember the day you left, Reba suddenly called me to the side?”
"Then why did you agree to my promise at that time? Are you playing with me?"
Tears instantly flowed out of Yang Yang's eyes. She suddenly felt like a fool, foolishly allowing the person she liked and trusted to lie and hide.
"You... Don't cry!"
Xu Sansheng picked up the tissue on the table in a panic and handed it over.""Sister Mi, can you listen to my explanation first? When you cry, I feel flustered.”
"Tell me, why?”Yang Mi didn't take the tissue from him. She wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve and asked.
Seeing this, Xu Sansheng took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up for himself. His eyes were blurred and he said with a little sadness,"Sister Mi, I like you. I've liked you since the first time I saw you.
When I heard you say that you would consider being my girlfriend when we meet again, I was so happy. But when Reba called me to the side and confessed to me, I realized that I also liked Reba!
I'm sorry, I did not do it properly. I made many mistakes that men shouldn't have.”
"During this period of time, I've been thinking about you all the time, but I'm afraid that once I say it, you and I will become strangers from now on. I'm sorry that I only dared to be honest with you now…"
